Chemistry

The Department offers a degree programme which is designed to give students a broad based theoretical and applied knowledge in all fields of chemistry as well as the Industrial chemistry option.

The B.Sc Chemistry degree programme at Hallmark University has the following objectives: 

  • To provide broad based theoretical and applied chemistry knowledge to students.
  • To produce graduates who are able to fit into chemical and associated industries or having specialized ability to be self-employed.
  • To develop students to become graduates who are able and willing to opt for a career in academics with a view to specializing in any of the areas / branches of chemistry – analytical, Organic, Inorganic, Industrial, Physical and Environmental.
